...DIED. LYN NOFZIGER, 81, irascible, savvy longtime aide to Ronald Reagan; of cancer; in Falls Church, Va. As head of communications for Reagan's successful 1980 White House bid, Nofziger endeared himself to the press with his candor, rumpled look and Mickey Mouse tie. The former newspaperman, who began advising Reagan in 1965, retired as a White House aide in 1982, but not before filling in memorably for press secretary James Brady after Reagan and Brady were shot by John Hinckley in 1981, delivering to reporters the President's quip "Honey, I forgot to duck...
...nearly 200 years since well-to-do Sydney colonists thought it fashionable to keep young dingoes as pets, but children today still delight in the fat-bellied, golden pups that Lyn Watson takes into shopping centers and schools for show-and-tell visits.

Salvatore "Sam" Favaloro, 60, should be out at Georges Bank, some 160 nautical miles from his home port of Gloucester, Mass., fishing for cod and haddock in his 70-ft. trawler Cara Lyn. Instead, he is tied up at a dock in Gloucester's inner harbor, worrying about how he is going to pay for the parts he needs for Cara Lyn's engine...
...grandfather would have loved being with me when I first saw the copy of the Declaration of Independence that my wife Lyn and I subsequently bought. It was spring 2001, and I had read that the document was going to be auctioned off by Sotheby's on the Internet. One of our little girls went to school with a little girl whose dad ran Sotheby's in Los Angeles. He told me that the document, which happened to be sitting in his office, was one of 25 that existed in the world at the time. It was one of those...
